With all due respect, those scanners work hard. I don't mind finding out how
much effort it took to get my book ready to read. I'm not sure what this list
did before, I'm just a newby. Who knows? Maybe I'll learn enough to put some
books up there, too. Blind people can scan, too. Just a thought.
Hey is this question appropriate for this list? I want to read the New York
Times and other newspapers from Bookshare. I got the New York Times once, but
can't seem to do it now. Could someone with a Braille Note or Voice Note
explain what you do to get the papers and such. I'm always stuck at this place
where you type in the title for what you want. I typed in "New York Times,"
and the system threw me back to books that contained those words, but no New
York Times. What am I doing wrong? It may be my fault. Why can't I just get a
list of titles of Newspapers and such and just return to go to that paper?
